ImportError: cannot import name 'EdgeOptions' from 'selenium.webdriver'

After installing the required dependencies: python gbd.py gives the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "google-books-downloader\gbd.py", line 6, in <modu
le>
    from seleniumwire import webdriver
  File "Python310\site-packages\seleniumwire
\webdriver.py", line 23, in <module>
    from selenium.webdriver import EdgeOptions
ImportError: cannot import name 'EdgeOptions' from 'selenium.webdriver' (Python310\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\__init__
.py)

Same here:

$ python3 gbd.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "gbd.py", line 6, in
from seleniumwire import webdriver
File "/home/att/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/seleniumwire/webdriver.py", line 23, in
from selenium.webdriver import EdgeOptions
ImportError: cannot import name 'EdgeOptions'

Did anyone find a resolution?

You need selenium >= 4.x, but not too much newer, otherwise you'll get an error when initializing webdriver:

pip install selenium==4.0.0  

After that, I ran into another error: module 'lib' has no attribute 'X509_V_FLAG_NOTIFY_POLICY'
... which I resolved by updating more packages:

py pip install selenium-wire --upgrade
pip install blinker==1.7.0
pip install pyopenssl --upgrade  

After that, I ran into ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'
... so I installed setuptools:

pip install setuptools  

After that, I only needed to install chrome and make sure that the executable was on my %PATH%.

Next, I ran into another exception: session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 83
So I hit up the chromedriver website and installed the correct version for my Chrome, which I did by extracting the executable into the same directory containing gbd.py.

Piece of cake, basically!

Jokes aside: Thank you for writing this :)

I can't thank you enough, @manavortex. Works perfectly after doing what you suggested. Have a great day 😄.
